How We Can Help
Hearing Center
Hearing Doctors That Have Cared for Thousands of Ears
Although many of us regularly have our eyes tested, our teeth checked, and a yearly physical, hardly any of us regularly test our hearing. Yet according to the CDC, hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United States.
The biggest challenge with hearing loss is that it’s often slow and gradual, which means that noticing the small incremental day-to-day changes is almost impossible, and with hearing loss being irreversible, it’s important to have a regular hearing assessment.
If you or a loved one is having any form of hearing challenges, whether sore ears, a challenge with hearing, or a buildup of earwax – regardless of how mild or severe – then schedule your appointment, so our 9 audiologists across our 3 convenient locations can help.
Nose & Sinus
Experts in All Aspects of Nose & Sinus Challenges
Every day, patients walk through our doors that are having challenges with their sinuses. Whether it’s a sinus infection, they are struggling to breathe through their nose, or it’s some form of nasal disorder, they share just how challenging and debilitating it is to their day-to-day lives.
Although there can be many reasons that you’re experiencing these challenges, our team of otolaryngology specialists utilizes a range of methods including nasal endoscopy, nasal swabs, skin prick allergy tests, and blood tests to find the right solution to help you to regain control of your sinus challenges and feel like your normal self again.
With sinus infections and challenges rarely going away on their own, it’s highly recommended to schedule an appointment if you or a loved one is having any form of struggle.
Head & Neck
Providing Diagnostics and Treatment to All Aspects of Throat, Head, and Neck Challenges
Many people don’t realize how complex your head and neck are until you have a problem. When simple things, such as swallowing, talking, or eating, become a challenge, it can cause serious concerns whether for you or a loved one.
Whether this is due to something simple or more complicated, you need the attention of a specialist as quickly as possible.
The providers at Ear, Nose & Throat Consultants of East Tennessee have vast experience in all aspects of laryngology and head & neck surgery – in both diagnostics and multiple forms of treatment. No matter how mild your concern is, it’s highly recommended to schedule an appointment as soon as you can.
Allergies
We Help You Find Relief for Your Allergies
Allergies, or allergic reactions, are characterized by an overreaction of your body’s immune system to a foreign substance referred to as an allergen. The routes of allergen exposure include inhalation, contact, ingestion, and injection.
Allergies, allergic rhinitis, asthma, sinusitis, and bronchitis are much more common than most people realize. Individuals burdened by these conditions live a frustrating and greatly reduced quality of life.
Our ENT specialists at ENT Consultants of East Tennessee focus a lot of our attention on determining the primary cause of each case in order to explore and develop the best course of treatment to fit the unique needs of our patients. If you struggle with allergies we are here to provide education about your condition as well as relief.
